- 00:02:19-00:02:32: The economic logic of leftovers: “I paid $15 for this entree and I get to eat it twice. Really only paid seven and a half. Right. I just made seven and a half dollars.”
- 00:05:06-00:05:08: Reference to this being “a norm type of experience”

- 00:05:06: Reference to “norm” suggesting this type of questionable food consumption experience
Summary:
The Observation Deck segment features Gordo recounting a weekend adventure that begins mundanely with his decision to eat leftovers instead of ordering food delivery. What starts as a discussion about the merits of leftovers – with Gordo and another host defending them as economical and convenient while a third host remains skeptical – quickly turns into a cautionary tale about the dangers of poor food tracking.
Gordo’s story takes a comedic turn when he reveals he has a “refrigerator assistant” who manages leftover inventory, and his attempt to verify the age of some chicken quesadillas goes unanswered until after he’s already consumed them. The revelation that the quesadillas were 10-12 days old, well beyond the recommended 3-5 day refrigeration limit, sends him into a panic driven by memories of co-host Craig’s legendary food poisoning horror stories.
The segment ends with Gordo’s proactive but arguably irrational response to his predicament – racing to a drugstore to find Ipecac syrup to induce vomiting before experiencing any actual symptoms. This absurdist escalation, combined with references to “Ipecac challenges” and frat house antics, exemplifies the show’s ability to transform everyday domestic mishaps into entertaining radio content that blends genuine concern with self-deprecating humor.

Summary:
This portion of The Musers opens with a brief “Fake Jerry” segment spoofing Cowboys owner Jerry Jones discussing a fictional Micah Parsons trade demand, but quickly transitions into an extended comedic story about one host’s misadventure with 12-day-old quesadillas. The tale becomes increasingly absurd as the host, who has limited taste and smell due to what appears to be lingering COVID effects, desperately searches multiple drugstores for Ipecac to induce vomiting after realizing he’d eaten ancient food.
The comedy peaks when the host realizes how suspicious his drugstore visits must have appeared to the elderly clerk — repeatedly asking for vomit-inducing medicine, then purchasing massage oil, creating an impression of some bizarre afternoon plans involving “erotic vomiting followed by massaging.” The conversation veers into skeptical territory about massage therapy techniques, with hosts questioning whether therapists can really perform the precise muscle work they claim.
Despite all the preparation and panic, including cleaning the toilet and setting up knee pads for expected vomiting, the host never got sick, leading to theories that his stomach might be “lined with whipped cream” from years of poor eating habits. The segment concludes with a perfectly timed anecdote about a college softball teammate’s bewildered reaction to finding an illegal bat, which mirrors the central question about why 12-day-old quesadillas were still in the refrigerator in the first place.

This portion of The Musers featured an extended “Fake Jerry” segment that lampooned Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his recent confusing press conferences. The bit focused on the ongoing Micah Parsons contract situation, with the fake Jerry displaying his characteristic verbal confusion and circular logic that fans have come to expect from the real Jerry Jones.
The comedy came from Jerry’s inability to get basic facts straight, including repeatedly calling Micah Parsons “Michael,” not knowing his agent’s name, and making nonsensical analogies about “must hoxes” and “mama-daddy deals.” The impersonation captured Jerry’s tendency to ramble and create confusing metaphors that seem to make sense to him but baffle everyone else listening.
The segment concluded with Jerry making increasingly absurd claims about his history with the Cowboys, ending on the anticlimactic note that 1989 was significant because he got a golf cart. The hosts wrapped up by acknowledging that their fake Jerry made about as much sense as the real Jerry did during his recent appearances in Oxnard, highlighting how the parody often mirrors reality when it comes to Jerry Jones press conferences.
